I have two degrees in Civil Engineering (B.S. and M.S.), and I've slightly more than doubled my salary from when I first started out, but it took me 12 years to do so...these losers seem to think they're entitled to large salaries without putting in the effort to work their way higher up the ladder. As far as I'm concerned, they can all starve to death, because I'm not paying more taxes to support a bunch of losers who don't want to work for a living.

I have a BS in Finance. I made shit when I graduated but worked my ass off and have nearly tripled my salary in less than 7 years. I have a lot of money in student loans, but I am paying them down. It sucks that I have so much in loans, but education is a privilege and not a right. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone to trade school at a fraction of the cost and become an electrician
